    I saw that but can't really remember the heading again, it might be useful to post them up here! The late spring and drought probably pushed everyone up one score this year! I got to digout all the nuts dockets here and work out what I fed per cow, but I'm guessing it was around the ton/cow, and this figure would have most certainly been higher bar we were very lowly stocked, so had sufficient feed to cover us in spring. Assuming the weather is alittle more normal next year, and the price of milk does stay good till the back end, I can see myself holding still around the ton/cow, but trying to increase cow output of any of the higher yielding HOs, who would be fed over the 1.5T. Actually the fact that I'm in wintermilk is distorting my figures a fair bit also, good few cows on 9kg/day at the minute!!
